Ura: The most important thing is clear and vivid coloring, with results like acrylic paint or plastic. Basic colors can be expressed in a variety of ways, but I wanted to achieve this with alkaline color. When using basic color agent, it often comes into contact with the scalp, so it requires skill to paint from the root, and it is also expensive. In addition, since yellow tones often result when applying it to bleached hair, it is necessary to apply a basic color only after making a base first with an alkaline color. However, this is unnecessary with [Acrylic Color], and the application becomes easier and faster. This makes it especially easier for hairdressers to recommend.

- There is no other product that offers this artificial texture and color, right?

Ura: I didn’t want to do this by half measure, I was determined to do it until I was satisfied. In particular, "acrylic lemon" was very difficult, and I requested samples to be adjusted and repeated so many times. I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve and [Acrylic Color] is the result.

- The color development is fully demonstrated in these two styles.

Ura: Vivid colors and pale tones are both expressed freely. I can’t get enough of designs that play with lines as well as designs that show off surfaces.

- Is there a high demand for such vivid colors?

Ura: Bleach-on colors have become popular, and I feel that this has increased especially in the last few years. Japanese people have black hair, so they have a large amplitude in relation to hair color, and can transform into any character they want. Even if it is not an aggressive color design, there is a wide range of possibilities for on-color highlights, from inner coloring to accenting natural styles in adults. It might look like a wacky color range at first glance, but I think it can be used really effectively for various designs.

- How do you recommend it is used?

Ura: If you use it as a single color, you can enjoy vivid coloring like this short style. For results like the other bob style, I would recommend mixing in "Clear" to produce a pale color. Because it is an alkaline color, the color penetrates the internal section of the hair even for pale shades, and the fading is beautiful too. When you want to make dull shades, mix in caradeco’s "Dull (D/m)". Being easy to mix is also a strong point of alkaline color. For example, when the base hair color is yellow, mixing purple in with pink and adjusting as necessary is easy, so I often mix different Acrylic Colors. Also, I recommend bleaching hair on a different day to coloring for better color fixing.

- What color do you especially recommend?

Ura: All of them are good, but blue in particular is experiencing a rush of popularity. The quality of blue is excellent, and it produces a strong color even without bleaching. Just like painting a picture with acrylic paint, let's enjoy hair color more with [Acrylic Color]!
